Hot container in refrigerator to cool it. Are you stupid?

Why call someone stupid just because you don't get something?

Who exactly puts a hot pot directly into a fridge?

I'd be delighted to 'splain.

Every Sunday, I simmer a huge pot of beans that have been soaking
overnight in the fridge. After an hour on the stove, they're dumped
into a pyrex bowl. That bowl is hot as hell. Whatchoo suggest, I
should leave 'em outta the fridge until they cool off?


No, but it doesn't take very long for something that is screaming hot to
get down to a reasonable temperature where you can then pop it in the
fridge.
